Specific Foods to Limit


Caffeine and Fast foods are food that every one loves. It's delicious and tempting to eat every day. But the truth is that caffeine and fast food are bad for your body.
Caffeine makes your hyper but it also causes you to urinate more which can cause dehydration. To prevent dehydration is to avoid caffeinated drinks on a hot day. Although some people believe that it may help with energy, it causes you to feel jittery and trouble sleeping.
Also, try to stay away from juice drinks that contain a small amount of juice and a lot of sweeteners. Try to drink 100% juice instead.
Fast foods contain a lot of bad fats such as trans fat. Trans fat is very bad for a teen athlete or anybody. Trans fat raises your body's bad cholesterol levels and lowers your good cholesterol levels. Trans fats increase your chance of many heart diseases.
